Asterin

Mushroom plaza ?

It was morning again.

Asterin got up tiredly and went outside. She thought about yesterday. Does Castor know about us? Asterin was too tired to think. She slowly went outside and saw that they had parked in front of a dock.

She saw Phoebe putting something to her lips. She walked towards Asterin and shooed her back inside the room, and closed the door behind her.

Phoebe was wearing a gown that had star prints on it. Her hair was down, but her side bangs had a sliver string braided with her hair. She was wearing a huge hat, covering her face a bit. The hat had a feather on top. And she was wearing her mask.

"Hi! I was waiting for you. So uhm, Blanche, Cascade, Blade, Castor, and Sohalia went to the market. I was waiting for you. But you have to wear the mask I made you. Just for safety. Oh, and this dress." Phoebe gave Asterin the mask and dress, her brown boots clicked when we walked out.

Asterin was confused but decided to wear the stuff Phoebe gave anyways. The dress was plaided gray and had a black corset. The mask had a really weird design, it was all squiggly and on the left side, the silver squiggles rose.

Asterin wore the dress and corset and put the mask on. She found boots in a corner and wore them. Asterin went outside the door and saw that Phoebe was still waiting for her. "You look pretty!" Exclaimed Phoebe.

There was a board that was connected to the dock. They walked over it and stepped onto the sand. "Where are we exactly?" Asterin questioned as they headed for the path into the forest.

"Kinoko Grove!"

                                                  ~~~~~~~|~|~~~~~~~

They stepped into the market. It was crowded. A lot of people were buying and selling stuff. There was no way Asterin and Phoebe were going to find the others in this crowd.

The shops were small, they were shaped like mushrooms, each was a different color. 

"Asterin, hold my hand. They told me to meet them at the restaurant!" Phoebe said, but Asterin could barely hear her from all the commotion around them. "What kind of restaurant?!" Asterin asked yelling. "Uhh-du du- the purple one!" Phoebe stuttered trying to remember the color. "Are you sure???!" Asterin asked. "Yes!" Phoebe guided Asterin to a non-crowded hill while holding her hand. They looked at the shops from the view. 

There were dozens of purple mushrooms.

"Which one?!" Asterin asked worriedly. "The purple restaurant?" Phoebe answered.

Asterin tried searching for a purple-colored restaurant and found one. It has a huge 'R' on the mushroom head.

"That one!" Asterin pointed to the R. 

"Let's go!" Phoebe smiled.

                                                  ~~~~~~~|~|~~~~~~~

They reached the purple mushroom, they had to push through a lot of people. Someone was holding the door open for them, so they went inside.

Asterin scanned the room in hope of Cascade and the others scattered somewhere in the seated area--and found them at the corner.

Asterin rushed towards them, pulling Phoebe with her. "There you guys are!" Asterin exclaimed. They all were wearing masks.

"Did you guys get lost?" Cascade asked taking a sip of her tea. Asterin nodded and sat down next to Blanche.

"We all look so cool. We should have a team name. What about... OOH! The bitches," Blade said while doing jazz hands. Blanche slapped him hard on the back. 

"I don't like that name. We shouldn't have a name at all, heh." Sohalia shrugged.

Blade sighed rubbing the spot Blanche hit.

                                                  ~~~~~~~|~|~~~~~~~

Blanche's P.O.V (third person)

They had just finished eating whatever they ordered and decided to head out. As they were about to walk out, a loud rumble broke the door open. People in black armor bust in. The restaurant was suddenly filled with screams of people trying to escape.

"They followed us?!" Asterin shouted throughout the chaos. Cascade nodded beside her. "Stupid Inferno. How are we supposed to take them on when people are blocking them?" Blade asked stubbornly.

Blanche had an idea but she didn't want to ruin the mushroom. She picked up her heavy silver dress and ran to the exit. Sohalia followed. 

Blanche kicked the few Inferno guarding the door. She exited and ran to open space. She let go of her dress and put her hands by her side. 

From her back, two wings appeared and rested. She squeezed her fists and her tail came out too. People began crowding her. She let go of her fists and grew out of human size. Her body became scaley, her head forming horns, seconds before her head turned into a dragon. Two other legs grew and she was her dragon form. 

She saw the armored people about to shoot arrows at her, but she flapped her wings hard. She was lifted into the air. Sohalia was beside her. She led the armored people to the beach. 

Blanche landed in the water, surrounding herself with ice. Sohalia landed beside her, getting in position to blow the armored people.

The armored seemed to be blocking something-someone. 

Blanche just wished the rest were okay. Sohalia looked up at Blanche. "I didn't know you were a dragon," Sohalia murmured.

Blanche snorted fumes of snow particles. 

Another group of people slashed straight through the armored. Their body dropping like dominos. The leader showed himself. Blanche could recognize him. His tan skin, curly dark hair. She knew. The guy she met the other day!?

He slid his sword back into its holder beside his heavy leather pants. Then, he started clapping. "I see we meet again," He smirked. "although you are looking rather, big and scaley."

Blanche growled lowly. Suddenly, she was surrounded by his people. 2 of them locked Sohalia's hands together. Blanche looked and tried blowing cold air at them but her mouth was shut tight by a muzzle cuff. Then, the rest of her legs were tied up, along with her wings. She tried roaring but it didn't work.

"Calm down sweetheart, everything will be alright."
